Earthquake Response Operation

Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS) has been focusing on an integrated recovery programme primarily targeting in 14 worst affected districts with four thematic components of shelter, water sanitation and hygiene (WASH), health, livelihood and institutional capacity building (ICB) components. However, additional districts have been targeted with not all five but few components based on needs and availability of resources. Several other activities as identified through needs assessment such as disaster risk reduction (DRR) projects, blood transfusion programme, and environmental management projects have been included. ICB is considered as one of the major pillars of this operation.
